Thinking trends at the surface design show

17th February 2011I visited the surface design show last night to get some inspiration and ideas on what's new for 2011. I discovered a range of new trends that I would like to share with you all so that when you are looking for the latest home products and colour trends, you will find shopping a piece of cake.So the key trends that I found for spring/summer 2011 included the botanic trend, which consists of fresh floral's and nature inspired patterns.michael_angoveImage credit: Michael AngroveThe botanic trend was introduced in early 2010 and has inspired global designers since to follow the trend. This trend is seen to continue through to September 2011 as suggested and predicted by global colour research and mix magazine.botanic_chairThe botanic trend is also seen in interior furniture and home products such as this beautiful limited edition botanic chair by Ary furniture and Michael Angove.scinscinscin           Concrete quilt curtain           Arresting Marquetry               Aluminium foamscinscinknitted_walls        Rosae                                Bling Jacquard                     Knitted wallImage credit: SCINI also noticed how exhibitors are creating a link with fashion and interiors in new surface materials for 2011. The collection from SCIN materials showed a vast range of new trends including those inspired by the botanic trend such as the rosae material, which  brings life to the death of a beautiful flower. This wall covering is made from handpressed rose petals and can be used as a delicate interior decoration in commercial interiors.The concrete quilt curtain has an interplay between natural light, which shines through the gaps of the material. There are many more materials from SCIN that show a link between fashion materials and interior textiles and furnishings, to view more designs click here.sally_angharadImage credit: Sally AngharadThese bespoke paper wall coverings have been created using an innovative technique whereby the papers are distressed and eroded to create decorative surfaces for the interior. Each paper piece has been individually designed to create beautiful wall coverings and can be created in any colour or pattern of your choice by freelance designer Sally Angharad.For more ideas and trends, take a look at my folder, which has all the exciting new surfaces and materials for 2011.
